Michigan QRP Club Annual Labor Day Sprint

The Michigan QRP Club will sponsor one contest in 2017. This is a departure from previous years when
four QRP contests were on our schedule. We plan to have increased membership activity on Labor Day evening and
invite all radio amateurs to end their holiday weekend with us on the air.

MICHIGAN QRP CLUB LABOR DAY SPRINT

Date and Contest Period: 2300Z 09/04/17 to 0300Z 09/05/17

The Michigan QRP Club sponsors one CW sprint each year.
The contest environment offers
an opportunity to improve operating skills and have fun.
Members and non-members are welcome to participate!
Only QRP (5W or less) stations will be considered for an award,
but others may join the fun.

Operate on the standard QRP frequencies,
except WARC bands. Work as many stations as you can.
They do not have to be participating in the sprint.
Calling CQ QRP, CQ MI, or CQ TEST is appropriate.

At the conclusion of the sprint please submit your log
per the instructions below.
Log submission deadline is 14 day from the end
of the sprint.

Logging

There are several free contest logging programs available. If the MI QRP

the MI QRP club event.

If you do not use radio control W3KM's General Logger
is free and has a module designed specially for MIQRP under the QRP module.

Scoring

Stations may be worked once per band for QSO points.
Member contacts = 5 points.
Non member W or VE contacts = 2 points.
Non member DX contacts = 4 points.

Score = Total QSO Points (on all bands) X S/P/Cs X BONUS POINTS

Bonus Points

Total points may be multiplied by 1.25 for any homebrew RX or TX used.
Multiply by 1.5 for a total homebrew station.
(Homebrew is a kit or homebrew rig, it is not necessary for you to have built it.)

Log Submission

Logs must be submitted within 14 day of the end of the sprint.
Electronic logs in Cabrillo Format are HIGHLY PREFERRED. Edit the cabrillo header with the information applicable
to the MI QRP club event in which you are participating.
